The correct answer is:
**d) a gamete will receive too many or too few copies of a chromosome.**
Nondisjunction occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division, leading to gametes that have an abnormal number of chromosomes. This can result in conditions such as trisomy (an extra chromosome) or monosomy (a missing chromosome) in the resulting offspring.
